minnesota. and be joined by questions at the end of the statement by john harrington, commissioner of the department of public safety. last may 25, the world watched in horror as george floyd's life and humanity were taken from him with a knee on the neck. the pain and anguish of the floyd family was bared to the world, as was minnesota's pain and anguish, and obvious failures, especially when it came to race and policing. a short time ago, police officer derek chauvin was found guilty of murder of george floyd, and was taken away. and sentencing will soon follow. it is an important step toward justice for minnesota. the trial is over, but here in minnesota, our work just begins. this is the floor, nothing of where we need to get to. i want to thank you folks involved in this, and this trauma that has spread from 38th and chicago, across our state, our country and our world. i would like to thank minnesota attorney general keith ellison for the remarkable work he and his team did. it made us pro

all of minnesota mourns with you. this year i'mma speaking to you from a classroom at mankato west high school. there are many reasons to give the state of the state address from his classroom. i taught social studies in the classroom for nearly a decade. my wife taught english right upstairs. i've always said teaching is and just how i pay the bills it's how i live my life and for me being in his classroom today signifies the progress we have made in ending this pandemic. throughout this year when i've been asked what i'm looking most forward to when the pandemic. is over i have answered hearing the laughter students and a lively school hallway. brighter days are here and even more we are winning the fight against covid-19. more than 1.5 million a few have received the vaccine. over 80% of our seniors have been vaccinated outperforming the rest of the nation. two-thirds of our educators and childcare workers have received their shots and starting tuesday i'll minnesotans 16 years and over will be eligible to get the

we know this in minnesota. our state was thrust into the international spotlight following the death of george floyd. our deep racial inequities were exposed for the world to see. for many white minnesotans, it was an awakening to a truth that minnesotans of color have known their entire lives. while our state ranks as one of the best places in the country for a white child to grow up, it often ranks as one of the worst for a child of color. as many minnesotans welcome getting back to normal, we must acknowledge this and recognize that for too many, getting back to normal is not good enough. it is not good enough for a single mother who is working two jobs just to feed her family. it is not good enough for a student in a small town who has to do her homework at a local restaurant because she does not have good internet connections, and it is not good enough for young black men who live in fear of being stopped by police officers who have sworn an oath to protect them. in his speech, dr. king spoke about how the

minnesota. july 13, 1945 at 6:13 p.m. >> that's an important time. and who are your parents and what are their occupations? >> i've got several parents. my mother was married three times. my biological father was clarence ellis taylor. he was originally from fort wayne, indiana. my mother was eula teresa vassar originally from birmingham alabama. -- from coming ham, alabama. my second stepfather was washington from minnesota. my third parent was john e murphy from st. paul, minnesota. they were married already five years. i consider him -- they were married 35 years. i consider him my father. my mother was a housewife. back in those days, he was the provider and he would provide for my mother and raised us as a housewife. mike stepfather worked for the postal -- my stepfather worked for the postal system. >> and you have siblings? who were they? >> re-siblings. my older -- oldest brother is deceased, clarence born in 1940. i was born in 1945 at the close of the war. my younger brother vance was

paul, minnesota. minnesota's capital city. i have read many times and heard many times -- >> we'll go now to vice president kamala harris. joe biden is there as well. let's listen in. vice president harris: this verdict brings us a step closer and the fact is we still have work to do. we still must reform the system. last summer, along with senator corey boork and representative karen bass, i introduced the george floyd justice in policing act. this bill would hold law enforcement accountable and help build trust between law enforcement and our communities. this bill is a part of george floyd's legacy. the president and i will continue to urge the senate to pass this legislation. not as a panacea for every problem, but as a start. this work is long overdue. america has a long history of systemic racism. black americans and black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human. black men are fathers and brothers and sons and uncles and grandfathers and friends and neighbors. their liv

last night 79 people were arrested in brooklyn center, minnesota. joining us now from brooklyn center is nbc news correspondent ron allen. ron, you led us off last night. what is the difference tonight? >> lawrence, it just feels a lot more intense. there is a smaller crowd, but there just seemed to be a lot of energy there. in the last hour since nightfall, we've seen projectiles, rocks and bottles going one direction, rubber bullets, other projectiles coming from the police as well. it goes on and on. if you take a close look, you can see it again, that fence over there which is the entrance to the police headquarters which, again, has been the focus of the protesters and the police and national guard. there is a significant national guard presence again there tonight. troops in camouflage and heavy militarylike vehicles back there, again trying to protect this place and keep the protesters back. all of this comes down to the next hour. what will happen in the next hour as we approach curfew? will the police and national guard decide to push and c

you can see the pictures there from brooklyn center, minnesota.dle of the protest. miguel, what are we looking at right now? >> you are looking at minnesota state patrol and their vehicles that are moving slowly up humboldt street trying to move the crowd north. john, come over to the right. you can see this is sort of the remnants of the crowd that is here. many of them are on their knee. it's a small number of individuals that are facing off with police. the police making announcement after announcement that this is an unlawful assembly. this woman just in front of us is hands in the air. and they want to show them that -- police -- that they can be out here, that they are voting with their feet. they are showing the police with their feet by being here and standing for daunte wright, that they own the streets and that they have equal rights on these streets. listen to this. >> you are in violation of statute 609-705 unlawful assembly. if you do not disperse you'll be arrested. if you interfere with peace officers, you will be violating statute

we had a previous caller from minnesota talking about elected officials in minnesota. among those that spoke yesterday after the announcement of the verdict was the attorney general of minnesota, discussing the need to end racism and what he calls unaccountable law enforcement. this is what he had to say. [video clip] >> this verdict demands us to never give up the hope for change. generations of said slavery would never end, jim crow would never end, that women would never be equal to men, that if you are different you could never be an equal member of our society, but today we have to end this travesty of recurring enduring deaths at the hands of law enforcement. these are things we have to focus our attention on. as i close, i want to say to you, the work of our generation is to put unaccountable law enforcement behind us. it's time to transform the relationship between community and the people who are sworn to protect them from one that's mistrustful, suspicious and in some cases terrifying to one that is empathetic, compassionate and affirming. that will benefit e

this case is not called the state of minnesota versus the police. this is not an anti-police prosecution. it is a pro police prosecution. >> what is your reaction? >> i think that it really depends on the verdict, how that is looked at. i applaud the prosecution for what they said today. if it is a guilty verdict, what they said will be true in a lot of minds. if it's not guilty, then i think it will go back to, this was about policing. so i think it really depends on that verdict. so it is so important on how this case pans out. >> listen, even. in. you had multiple people from the police department testifying against chauvin's actions, including the police chief, does that show this case, you know, it's different than other officer-involved killings at least? and maybe the potential, depending on the outcome that it can have on policing? >> i think it is. we've never seen anything like it in our country. so i applaud each member of that police department for standing up with courage and saying we're going to speak up on what's right. we'll speak a

my name is keith ellison, attorney general of minnesota. since the prosecution of this case began last may, everyone involved has pursued one goal -- justice. we pursued justice wherever it led. when i became the lead prosecutor, i asked for time and patience to review the facts, gather evidence, and prosecute for the murder of george floyd to the fullest extent the law allowed. i went to thank the community for giving us that time and allowing us to do our work. that long, hard, painstaking work has culminated today. i would not call today' is verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration. but it is accountability, the first step towards justice. and now, the cause of justice is in your hands. when i see your hands -- when i say your hands, i mean the people of the united states. george floyd mattered. he was loved by his family and friends. his death shocked the conscience of our community, our country, the whole world. he was loved by his family and friends, but that isn't why he mattered. he mattered because he was

it's not safe to drive in minnesota while you're black.r is there's so many of us who drive, you know, and if we see police behind us, we're afraid, you know, we're trembling. that is a kind of terror that no citizen of the united states should ever have to face. it's constant, it's ever present. >> have you personally experienced that over these years? >> absolutely, wolf. at the hands of my own police department, even as a student in high school playing in the park with other, you know, friends of mine, multiracial group. myself and another friend of mine were the only two black kids who were at the park that day playing, and out of nowhere we had police officers come and pick the two of us up out of the group of our friends and put us in the back of a squad, take us. we were shown to someone in a window to be identified as perhaps potentially criminals or something like that. but that was quite a traumatic experience in minneapolis. i've randomly been stopped because officers said i, you know, took the cart out of the store and took it

what we're seeing tonight, this isn't minnesota. okay? i spend a lot of time in minnesota. everybody knows that. i repeat it too often. i have extended family in minnesota. i'm there every summer. okay? this is not -- what we're seeing right now is in columbus. you have any point earlier. yeah, now in what we're seeing now is in columbus. this is expanded. protesters have broken into police headquarters, matt, going to your point. police had it locked by handcuff now. this is going to be going on coast to coast as newt gingrich said unless they stop it. unless they use appropriate legal force to stop the criminality. it's going to spread. >> yeah, look at -- breaking in to a police station. we know they did it as you mentioned earlier. we know what happened in minneapolis. they broke into a police station and burned it almost to the ground. the cops abandoned it basically. had to run for their lives. now we're seeing the same kind of things. i thought that attacks on government buildings, that counts as an insurrection. that's what we were told january 6. what happened janu

she is here on that and the reaction to what's happening in minnesota. stay there.s and fleas? see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio. >> laura: if the biden administration tries resettling illegal aliens in south dakota, they are going to have to get past governor kristi noem. she tweeted "south dakota won't be taking any illegal immigrants the biden administration wants to relocate. my message to illegal immigrants: call me when you're an american." governor noem joined me now. good to see you. how would this work? how would you enforce it? >> well, there's always a request made to the states where the federal government will put the request in and ask. what i am determined by watching the actions of this presiden

we are going to begin tonight in brooklyn center, minnesota, where protesters have gathered in the cities near the city's police headquarters. we are going to be joined by ron allen who is there at the scene. ron, what is the latest situation there? >> reporter: lawrence, we have a lull at the moment. but where we are here we're down the street from the police station. just a little ways. you can see there in the distance but the crowd left this area and gone back there and now standing in front of the police again. it is this face to face standoff that's been going on for hours now. and they're not leaving. in the last half hour an exchange of tear gas. the protesters are setting off fireworks. you could see some things being thrown over the fence there and now you can perhaps see here in the distance people are starting to run this way again. here they come. and i can see a big plume of smoke over the court yard, the front yard in front of the police headquarters there. i don't smell any irritant in the air at the moment but again this is going on all night. periodically the police come

and my mom calls me from minnesota worried for folks. >> i can imagine. in demo graphic, becoming younger, people would are younger more likely to end up in the hospital now, that i think we are seeing in places besides michigan as well. i think the big question -- this is the part where i think i'm more optimistic about -- is the impact the vaccines overall on deaths. people are still becoming infected. that is clear. as has been said, unacceptably high rate that we're still plateauing at right now. and in are the variants that are more transmissible. you're, good you generally wear the mask. if you took chances, the var jant going to be less forgiving. you won't get away with it. the numbers may go up. but what i hope and i think won't happen is that you won't see the corresponding proportional deaths that we saw in the past. we hope. the vaccine is effective against that as well as having previously infected. your andy bodies should be protected against that variant. we'll see. that's why they have to keep monitoring this. >> the drop in deaths in nurs

she is a member of the brooklyn center city council in minnesota. thank you very much for being here. i know this is a difficult time for you and for your city. >> thank you so much for having me, rachel, i appreciate it. and yeah, it is a difficult time for all of us. >> just ask, we are looking -- we're covering this as a developing story. we sort of threw out everything we were planning to do last night to cover a lot of this live as it unfolded. it is very tense. there were confrontations. we are again seeing pepper spray. we are seeing, right now, live images, stuff thrown at police and police responding with gas. i wonder if you have words for your community tonight? if you have anything that you want them to know as your perspective as a community leader? >> yeah, so, i think that a quote i have been reflecting a lot on is dr. martin luther king. he said a riot is a language of the unheard. and with this quote, i think it's important as leaders and an citizens, that we listen and respond appropriately. we know that our community is hurting. w

congressman woman out of minnesota told c.n.n.'s jake tapper that the community was on edge and that we haven't seen justice not delivered in our community for many years and while the rest of america and the world watches the courtroom drama play out on their t.v.'s it's just outside that courtroom vioxx reports that the hennepin county government center in minneapolis is surrounded by concrete barriers chain link fencing and barbed wire nearby buildings have boarded up their storefront windows members of the national 'd guard have been patrolling the area with the mayor and police chief now promising even more police presence in the community in the community as this trial presses on in the summer one has to wonder how long. till the simmer turns once again into a boil especially if the citizens of minneapolis are denied the justice their community deserves now let's start watching the hawks. you want to. see the prizes you always see. grace. this least systemic deception. which. will. welcome everyone to watching the hawks i am.

in minnesota. it's something that, when i talk to advocates and activists, tensions are really running high. both of these happened, as you said, in the exact-same state. it's happened -- the -- the -- daunte wright was killed, while george floyd's -- the -- excuse me, the derek chauvin case is going through. and after his -- and -- and yesterday, we saw his brother, as you just showed, with that kind of heart-wrenching testimony. and so, people are already feeling very tense, in the city. and joe biden does have to tread carefully, here, because presidents, typically, and definitely try to make sure they don't weigh in too much before an investigation happens. but at the same time, this is a president and a vice president, who have talked a lot about policing. who have talked about the need to get things done. and so, advocates, activists, and protestors, are expecting to hear from them, no matter what happens after it does happen. it's going to put more pressure on biden to push congress to pass
